We ordered the lettuce wraps to start and they were flavorful and the lettuce was fresh. We also ordered a thai curry noodle with chicken and shrimp and the honey pecan chicken. The noodle dish was ok but made amazing because of the in house made chili sauce. The highlight of the honey pecan chicken was clearly the candied pecans. The chicken was tender and sauced well but lacked that umami flavor. Will we be back? Only time will tell

This is a hard one because I don't like doing reviews like this. This was my first time here. I got…read morethe mongolian beef, but I substituted the beef for chicken instead. I also ordered the chicken lo-mein. I was surprisingly shocked how bland everything was from the chicken to the noodles. Especially for the mongolian sauce. It didn't have that pop at all. I really wanted to like this, but I was just disappointed. I'll come back and maybe try another dish. Maybe it was just one of those days for the them.

She threw out three options, but number three, Imperial Koi would mean I would have the opportunity to write a new Yelp review, so I was all in! Imperial Koi is easy to find. I've passed it several times on my way to and from Temple. Emanuel. Right off New Garden Road with plenty of parking once you figure out how to get to the upper level parking.. It was very nice inside. It was almost fancy but certainly felt comfortable being casually dressed. I liked that option.... The menu was quite varied although Sally said they are known for their sushi. I enjoy sushi, but knowing I'm leaving for a cruise with my kids in a few days and I'm going to eat every single thing I can get my hands on, I decided to go with something a bit less fattening and chose their hibachi chicken. I was really happy to see that they offered brown rice, which seems to be a hot commodity these days in any restaurant. We ordered some edamame as an appetizer. All delicious and plentiful. The meal and the company were delightful. Sally and I had not seen each other for a while so there was lots to catch up on and we both had good news which is always fun. The meal was very tasty and although I had thought about taking half of it home in a doggy bag, I decided to eat the whole thing and it was scrumptious. The portion was not huge but certainly plenty, and once again, I really appreciated i the brown rice. The place was pretty full on a weeknight which is a good sign they are doing well! The service was good. The ambiance was nice, and the food was very tasty... And they have brown rice! LOL I will be back.

For some reason 2 came out and the third came out about 5 minutes later. No mention on the reason for the delay, but my meal was not to temp by the time the third one arrived.

Overall, it was enjoyable and I'd eat here again! ***edit based on response receive - my dish came out the first round but since we didn't know the delay time or anything else other than "right out" on the third dish, we waited to eat for 5 minutes and that's why my food wasn't to temp; as for the bathrooms, it's hard to ask for directions when your server hasn't been by your table in awhile and everyone else is walking quickly, with their hands full, or not making eye contact. Business owners should apologize for short comings, not make excuses or advise why the customer was inadequate.***

We were originally planning to hit up our usual AYCE spot in Greensboro but didn't want to deal with the wait, so we decided to try Kimono since it's closer to home. Big mistake. Let's start with the rolls - they're basically rice bombs with a hint of fish somewhere in there. If you're into eating mostly rice with your sushi, then jackpot! But if you're looking for that perfect rice-to-fish ratio and fresh, vibrant flavors that good sushi should have, keep driving. The quality is barely a step above what you'd grab from Harris Teeter's sushi counter, and I'm being generous here. The only saving grace was our server, who was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. But friendly service can't make up for mediocre food, especially when the bill hits $120 for three people. At that price point, you expect way better quality. Bottom line: Save your money and make the drive to a better spot. There are too many good sushi places in the Triad to settle for this. Your wallet (and taste buds) will thank you later.

The rolls were heavy on the rice, which overwhelmed the other flavors. Additionally, there was an off-putting funky taste that made the sushi comparable to what you'd find in a grocery store.

While the ambiance and service were pleasant, the sushi itself did not live up to expectations. It gets one star for bad food and the extra star for the great service.

The last time we were here, we were told something regarding bringing food for him, so this time I called ahead before coming to ask if we could bring his French fries in that he would eat. I specifically called because I wanted to respect the restaurant and avoid any issues. I explained the situation to the manager. I was told they have a kids menu, but none of the options on the kids menu are foods our son will eat because of his extremely limited diet. I explained that and asked if we could simply bring food that he can eat. The answer was still no. We weren't trying to get around the rules or avoid purchasing a meal. We called ahead, explained the situation, and asked for a simple accommodation so our son could sit with his family and eat. What was most disappointing was the lack of understanding or willingness to work with us. Saying "we have a kids menu" doesn't solve the problem when a child with special needs cannot eat any of those options. We made every effort to handle this respectfully. Unfortunately, that same consideration was not extended to our family. We will not be returning.

My first time visiting!…read more The inside I'd small but they've made good use of the space without it feeling overly crowded. There's also outdoor seating which is great for this time of year. It wasn't overly busy when I visited but there was a long wait for the food. There seemed to be 2 servers for the dining area and 1 bartender which is a bit lean for a Saturday night. They were very good though and never seemed frazzled and I never felt forgotten. It did take about 30 minutes to receive my entree which felt excessive for what I ordered. I was also surprised there was a $5 upcharge for fried rice and it was a very basic portion-rice with eggs, no veggies or anything else. The Pad Prik was the winner-it was the right balance of spice without being overwhelming. The veggies were fresh, the pork was tender, and it came out hot. Pricing seemed a little higher for cuisine of this type compared to other places in the area. I'd be interested in visiting again to try some items from their sushi menu.

When I ordered the new beer, we ordered yellowfin, bluefin, and escolar nigiri as a starter. Beer came out several minutes later and we ordered our main courses (a combination of a noodle dish and several appetizers.) About ten minutes later, our server came up and told us they were out of bluefin. Ok, fine. We looked at the menu and picked another nigiri (yellowtail.) Another wait and she came back and told us they were out of the lettuce wraps we ordered. Now we are three items that you are out of with wait times that took longer than they should have to notify us so we could adjust accordingly. Our second round of food comes out before the first round that we ordered. At this point we are just satisfied that we are getting anything that we ordered, even out of order. When the check comes, the market value bluefin is on the check ($12) and I comment to the server that this was not correct. She responded that it was fine because she didn't ring us up for the yellowtail, which was half the price of the bluefin. I get that fresh ingredients can be out of stock. That is totally acceptable. I get that sometimes food and beverages can sell out, also acceptable. What I have a hard time accepting is that for some reason THREE different courses were unavailable and the service staff didn't know ahead of time or notify us timely enough to keep the flow of service intact. During the shuffle of repeatedly telling us that they didn't have what we ordered came at the cost of our courses coming out completely out of sync. The issue of trying to charge us for a much more expensive nigiri since it was replaced for an item that was literally half the price was almost an insult if not intentionally done to keep the check price up. I'm glad I looked at the check instead of just giving her my card so we could leave. Overall, the quality of the food was fine and the service was apologetic given the several missteps, but overall, it was far from what we had from the recommendation we had received. I reached out SEVERAL times via email to the management and have not had a single response, so either they don't have one or they don't care. We won't go back and there are much cheaper and better options all over the place.
